Deep Tissue Massage Alleviate Aches More Effectively

So, I'm at my local nail salon (I love the French manicure) without my children for a change, when I am complaining about my back. It always hurts. I have tried many over the counter medications, over and over again, but to no avail. Now, I was talking privately to my friend, but some random buttinsky piped up "try a deep tissue massage". Apparently, I was speaking too loudly, and now my ailment is out in public. I, unfortunately, was desperate. I had to enquire further. I have had massages, they haven't helped. However, Miss B. was extremely impressed with the local masseuse, and for all I knew, was working on a referral basis! Anyway, when all was said and done, I was ready to head off for a deep tissue massage.

As I found out, if you have pain for an on-going amount of time, it may be deep tissue problems. Deep tissue massage can alleviate many problems. Bands of painful tissue can cause muscle tension which can be serious, even debilitating. One must go deep beyond the surface, and may need a specialist in this field.


A deep tissue masseuse will use tools of ceramic, glass and wood. He/she will also use elbows and fingers, as well as hands and arms. A classical masseuse (such as one who performs a Swedish massage) will use just hands and arms. Most massage therapist are qualified in some sort of deep tissue massage, but there are also true specialists(the one I visited was a specialist).





Employment in the field of massage is growing. As people find out the benefits, more and more people are becoming qualified in this field. These self-employed therapists will usually possess their own equipment.

Commercially designed tables intended for massage have heavily padded surfaces which is easy to clean. There is a horseshoe-shaped head support so the recipient can breathe with ease while lying face down. These tables can be easily cleaned and remain hygienic. Pillows and mats are also used to keep people in the most appropriate position.


My experience with deep tissue massage was very rewarding. I continue to go frequently, but the greatest reward is that I am out of pain, and no longer need to take the medication, which I felt was adding toxins to my system. A bonus which I didn't expect was that I now have more energy than before.

Apparently when a massage is performed, an increase in blood flow can give more energy, as well as increasing brain function and the elimination of waste from the body is more efficient. All this sounds great right? Go check out your local massage spa. Investigate whether or not they are specialists in the field of deep tissue massage? If not, keep looking. Whatever you do, make sure you find the right place to go.


Treat yourself to a deep tissue massage. Don't slow down because your pain is overwhelming. Ditch the over the counter medications. Try it once, you'll never regret it. I know I needed the lack of pain, and the increased energy and brain power really helped out!
